• Conduct data quality checks, identify anomalies, determine their root causes, and collaborate with Data, Product, Technology, and Analytics teams to implement corrective actions.

• Communicate findings clearly — articulating the business impact of results and providing recommendations that support informed decision-making.

• Balance quantitative and qualitative insights, demonstrating the business value of analytics and helping stakeholders understand the story behind the data.

• Ensure responsible data usage, working closely with data governance and compliance teams to protect the integrity and security of Equifax data assets.

What You’ll Bring

• A Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (e.g., Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline) or equivalent experience.

  • Excel or Google Sheets for quick data exploration and reporting

  • Tableau or Looker for data visualization and dashboarding

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams and contribute to descriptive and diagnostic analyses.

• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving mindset.

• A cloud certification (e.g., GCP) or hands-on cloud experience is strongly preferred.

What Could Set You Apart

• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Certification or comparable cloud credentials.

• Self-motivated, independent thinker with a proactive approach to learning and problem-solving.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, including the ability to translate technical results into meaningful business narratives.

• Comfortable working with clients or customer-facing teams, providing analytical support and insights as needed.
